(8) On-road procedures

8.2    In the event that there is a mechanical fault or failure of the Vehicle during the Rental Period (which is not caused by an accident), you acknowledge that you will be responsible for the costs to repair that fault or failure and any towing costs associated due to that fault or failure.   Mighway will procure or undertake such work as is required to repair the fault or failure, and the cost of such repairs will be invoiced to the Owner or, at Mighway’s discretion, may be deducted in full or in part from the Owner’s Rental Fee.  In the event that the cost of such repairs exceeds the lesser of (i) NZ$500.00 or (ii) the Owner’s Rental Fee, Mighway will obtain the Owner’s consent prior to incurring such costs. If the said repair/s cost is less than (i) $500. The required repairs will be approved to proceed. The owner will be notified once the said repairs have been completed.


8.3    Should the guest undergo repairs due to a mechanical fault or failure (not caused by a contingency), we ask our owners to not arrange any repairs with the guest directly. Unless it has been sanctioned through one of the Mighway staff. In the event the vehicle is not able to be repaired within 24hours of Mighway being notified, and/or the workshop requires an elongated duration for the vehicle to be repaired. Mighway will notify the owner on what may be required.

8.3a    Should you opt to proceed with the repairs through the arrangement from New Zealand Roadside assistance. Mighway will perpetuate to avail the owner until the said repairs have been completed. Should you opt to arrange the repairs privately, you acknowledge that you will be responsible in the retrieval of your vehicle and any costs associated.


8.4    New Zealand Road side assistance provides Mighway with invoices and/or case notes related to all incidents reported, whilst guest have been traveling on the road. Should Mighway receive an invoice which correlates to a case in which your vehicle required (i) repairs due to a mechanical fault or failure. (ii) Towing costs and/or any supplement workshop cost. Mighway will send the owner the invoice and load the invoice amount on to the owners Mighway account. All invoices do not require any upfront payment and are deducted from future rental income only.


9. Vehicle return and Damage claims

8.1 You must collect the Vehicle at the end of the Rental Period at the time and place agreed between you and the Guest as the drop off location.

 

9.2 It is your responsibility to, together with the Guest, complete and again sign the Pick Up / Drop Off Report (which you have previously partially completed at the time of pick up under clause 7.3) and to email provide a copy to Mighway at support@mighway.com within 48 hours of the end of the Rental Period. It is the owners responsibility to ensure that this inspection is thorough, as any damages found after this report is completed will be ineligible for insurance cover. Mighway strongly recommends always doing this inspection during daylight hours.

9.3 If a guest fails to return the vehicle at the agreed upon date and time, and a thorough inspection cannot be completed because of this, Mighway needs to be informed immediately. Under these circumstances Mighway does allow the owner to complete a thorough inspection later, but this must be within 24 hours of the return.
If the guest is able to be present for this delayed inspection, the owner must allow the guest to take part as normal, and both parties must agree and sign this report before providing it to Mighway.
If the guest cannot be present for this delayed inspection, then the owner can complete the inspection without the guest present and provide the unsigned report to Mighway.

 

9.3       If Mighway is managing the rental of your Vehicle, Mighway will assume responsibility for completing any Pick Up / Drop Off Reports with the Guests at the conclusion of their Rental Periods. If a guest has damaged the vehicle during the rental period Mighway will record any new damages, notify the owner of these damages, and then handle the insurance claim process on behalf of the owner. 


9.4       Guests are required to notify Mighway immediately if they damage a vehicle, and Mighway will notify you if the Vehicle is Damaged during the Rental Period.  Our Insurance Provider will then liaise with you to arrange for repair of the Vehicle (including agreeing the time and place of repair).  You should ensure that details and evidence of the Damage (i.e. photos or a recording) are recorded alongside the Pick Up / Drop Off Report completed at the end of the Rental Period, and provided to Mighway.
The guest is not able to action any repairs themselves, and the owner is not able to facilitate repairs directly with the guest.

 

9.5       If the Damage results in the Vehicle no longer being drivable, the Rental Period ends on the date that the Damage is caused.  You will still receive the full Owner’s Rental Fee in respect of the Rental Period, and our Insurance Provider will then liaise with you to arrange for repair of the vehicle (including agreeing the time and place of repair).  If our Insurance Provider determines that the Vehicle is beyond economical repair (in its opinion), you will be paid the market value of the vehicle, as determined by the Insurance Provider.  The maximum market value payable is NZ$150,000.  If you consider your Vehicle has a market value in excess of NZ$150,000, you must notify Mighway of the estimated market value of the Vehicle at the time of registering on the Site.  Mighway will confirm acceptance of that amount with the Insurance Provider, prior to your Vehicle being accepted as registered on the Site.

 

9.6 If you identify any new Damage to the Vehicle that has not previously been notified to you, and was not present at the time of pickup, then you must record details and evidence of the Damage (i.e. photos or a recording) in the Pick Up / Drop Off Report completed with the guest at the end of the Rental Period. If Damage is not recorded on the signed Drop Off Report, then Mighway will no longer be able to repair the vehicle under its insurance policy, unless the guest acknowledges their liability in writing to the owner or to Mighway.
If at the time of return you and the Guest cannot agree on what you have identified as new damages, you must notify us of this dispute by emailing
support@mighway.com immediately.
Clause 14 will apply in respect of any disputes between you and the Guest in respect of any Damage, and you must keep us informed in respect of the status of the dispute.   Once the dispute has been resolved, you must upload the agreed Pick Up / Drop Off Report and notify us by emailing support@mighway.com.
Our Insurance Provider will liaise with you to arrange for any repair of the vehicle required (including agreeing the time and place of repair).


9.7a    Any vehicle damage not reported to Mighway within 48 hours of the conclusion of the rental will be ineligible for claim lodgement.


9.7b    Any new damage must be indicated on the Pick up & Drop Off form and the Accident Report Form must be completed and signed by the guest. Incomplete information may result in an ineligible claim.


9.7c    In the event where damage is not acknowledged by the guest on the Pick Up & Drop Off form or the Accident Report Form, but Mighway still has reasonable grounds to believe the damage has occurred during the hire, the now unrecoverable excess portion that would have otherwise been paid by the guest may, at our discretion, be charged to the owner.

 

9.8 None of the Guest, the Insurance Provider nor Mighway will be responsible for any:

(a) damage to or faults of the Vehicle identified and agreed as pre-existing damage or recorded in the Pick Up / Drop Off Report completed at the commencement of the Rental Period;

(b) depreciation, gradual damage, corrosion or any fair wear and tear to the Vehicle or Vehicle Accessories during the Rental Period;

(c) damage to tyres by application of brakes or by punctures, cuts or bursts;

(d) damage arising from failure of, or defect or fault in, the design, specifications or materials incorporated into the Vehicle;

(e) mechanical fault (including any breakdown) or failure of the Vehicle that occurs during the Rental Period if the fault or failure is, or is likely to have been (in our, or the Insurance Provider’s, reasonable opinion), caused by an existing issue with the Vehicle; or

(f) mechanical, electrical, alarm or electronic systems or any loss that their failure causes to the rest of these systems; 

(g) consequential loss arising out of any loss or Damage including, without limitation, loss of revenue for any future bookings which must be cancelled due to Damage to the Vehicle caused during the Rental Period.

 

9.9 You agree to provide us and the Insurance Provider with access to the Vehicle at reasonable times to assist with our assessment of any Damage and to undertake any repairs.


9.10 The Owner should submit (together with the Pick Up / Drop Off Report) details of any fees or amounts owed and outstanding by the Guest in respect of:

(a) accurate record of the odometer at time of pickup and return so that Mighway can accurately calculate and charge the correct Road User Charges (RUC) amount, this only applies for diesel vehicles;

(b) excess cleaning fees, if the Vehicle is not returned in a clean condition;

(c) fuel and gas charges, if the Vehicle does not have a full fuel tank and full bottles of gas (if applicable) when returned;

(d) dumping fee, if the Guest has not emptied the grey water and waste tanks (if applicable) of the Vehicle prior to returning it;

(e) lost items, if the Guest has returned the Vehicle and additional items included in the hire are missing.
(f) late return fees, if the vehicle is returned after the date and/or time previously agreed upon


The Guest must sign and acknowledge liability for any of the above on the Pickup / Drop Off Report in order to be held liable. Failure to get this acknowledgement of liability may forfeit the owners payment for the outlined fees.
If a Guest disputes the liability, and will not sign the forms, Mighway needs to be notified of this dispute immediately.


Failure to submit the Pick Up / Drop Off report within 48 hours of booking completion, may result in delays or non payment of additional booking charges.


9.11    You agree to not engage in any direct financial transactions with the guest. Payment and communicating only via the Mighway platform helps to ensure that you will be protected under our Terms and Conditions, fees, cancellation, insurance, and roadside policies. It also allows you to keep track of all your booking details in one place. By paying and communicating outside of the Mighway platform, you will no longer have access to these benefits. 


9.12 If Mighway accepts your claim in respect of any matter set out in clause 8.10, we will reimburse to you the applicable the amount(s) as set out in Schedule One.


9.13     If you have any complaints in respect of Damage to your Vehicle (including any repairs), please contact Mighway at support@mighway.com.  Any disputes under this clause 8 will be dealt with in accordance with clause 14.
